Factory OEM trigger shoe Upgrade (modified & enhanced)

Rebuilding a Gen1 G17. Bought the gun in pieces from a guy. Several pieces were missing.

Installed a new OEM 5# trigger spring, new OEM recoil spring assembly, new extractor plunger assembly, new JG striker assembly, New Wilson Combat connector (I love these, this is now my 3rd.) and now a new JG OEM enhanced trigger shoe w/bar.

My other 2 Glocks have a "snappy" trigger break and reset. Both have JG OEM enhanced trigger shoes (shoes only, no bar) and the same Wilson Combat connector as this G17. The other Glocks are a Gen 3 G30 and a Gen3 G19. The triggers work fantastic in those. They both have OEM strikers.

After assembling this G17 and trying the trigger, I thought how in the world do I now have a 2# trigger feel? Extremely short pre-travel and a really short reset is great, but a 2# trigger pull?

So, got out the trigger gauge and to my surprise it pulls 4# every single time. "Cant be" I said to myself. Measured the pull again. 4 more pulls, all 4#. Pulled trigger numerous more times with my finger and it feels like a 2# trigger pull.

Thought about it for awhile. How can this be? Went to my other 2 Glocks that also have 4# trigger pulls and they feel completely different. They feel like 4# triggers. They only have the JG OEM enhanced trigger shoes, no bars or JG strikers, they have the same Wilson Combat connectors in them and I thought they were fantastic, and they are, I love them.

This trigger is soo smooth it's unbelievable. The trigger break and reset is now more of a "snick" (if that's a word) now. I may want to adjust the connector outward a bit so that I have more of a snap when the trigger breaks and resets, I find I can pull through the initial trigger break if I'm not careful. I never touched the pretravel or overtravel adjustments as they were perfect as they came.

There is definitely a "wall" but it's soo easy to pull past now because it's so darn smooth. I'm in disbelief that a Glock trigger can be this smooth. It's not a 1911 break, I have a few of those, it's a Glock for Gods sake, it never will be. But it's unlike any Glock trigger I have ever felt.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it. How he does it is beyond my abilities. Nice job JG. Nice job.

This is the second shoe I bought. This time for my Gen3 19. Just as with the first one for my Gen1 17 took out much of the pre-travel and is much better now. Best $22 you can spend on your Glock.

Installed on a Gen1 17. WOW what a difference. Take up is so minimal but safe. Shoe feel on the finger is nice and smooth. Will be adding Johnny's striker assembly and connector also. Buying a second one for my Gen3 19 as well. I want both triggers to feel the same.

For only $30 otd you get an unbelievably superior trigger to the stock one. Really close to the feel and function of the GPT's I have on my Gen 5 G19 & G34. Just be sure to lube the appropriate trigger parts. Otherwise, you'll end up wondering why the trigger weight nearly doubled.

I purchased the "OEM CURVED w/BAR pre & overtravel adjustable gen 1-4 9mm". With a few adjustments and expert advise from watching Johnny Glocks video's on You tube, I had this trigger dialed in and wow what a difference. I've learned so much watching the show, it made me very interested in making improvements on my stock Glock 19 Gen 3. The value and quality make it worth while. I have several Glock clones and plan to purchase some additional items in the future. The VEX shoe is something I'm interested in. I've also been thinking about getting a Glock 43x, and it's going to need some upgrades as well. Thank you
